This would be, without any doubt, a war crime committed by the United States. We prosecuted Germans and Japanese for doing this exact thing in WWII.

Expiring ACA tax credits will hit small businesses especially hard. Meanwhile, 74% of small business owners are worried that their business won’t survive due to Trump’s tariffs.
Trump is crushing small businesses while doling out tax breaks to his big corporate donors.

This story explains one of the primary reasons why most western public lands are in poor ecological condition -- chronic livestock grazing is allowed to continue irrespective of the damage being done and without any review. Private interests destroying public resources. 🌎
We found that the BLM skipped environmental review on 75% of its grazing land. Our new @propublica.org story explains the ”loophole” that allows BLM to bypass enviro reviews. www.propublica.org/article/graz...

trump is the president in the sense that he holds the office but he very clearly isn't the president in the sense that he has basically relieved himself of its duties
Trump’s echo chamber:
Very little U.S travel
No rallies or contact with supporters
Right-wing media
Dinners with rich donors and billionaires
Truth Social

Trump, Hegseth, and the rest of them are so sure they're never going to be held accountable for their crimes, and I believe it's fundamentally important to this country that we prove some things still fucking matter.

I looked Trump's Education Secretary Linda McMahon dead in the eye and asked, “Do you think you can shut down the Department of Education?”
She said, “No, I don’t have the legal authority to do that.”
Yet here we are.
Linda McMahon should resign.

Ice age architecture: How mammoth bones reveal human ingenuity
What do you build with when trees are scarce and winters are brutal? For hunter-gatherers living in current-day Ukraine some 18,000 years ago, the answer was simple: mammoth bones.

One last thing: If AOC runs against Schumer, she will win.
Democrats need to make a hard left turn.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.
